The Ship's Rail: The Two Hour Cruise From Hell
http://theshipsrail.blogspot.com/2013/12/the-two-hour-cruise-from-hell.html
Monday, 23 December 2013. The Two Hour Cruise From Hell. We booked a two day cruise on the Ventura leaving on Friday 13th September. Well, there's a clue about how it went, even though paraskevitriskaidekaphoibia (fabulous Greek term) is not something I'd normally worry about. It's a good day to travel, you can get cheap air fares. Huge mistake. Huge. We got to our cabin. Tiny and inside but that was no problem. The problem was the same one we'd encountered on our previous cruise - no air conditi...Looki...

The Ship's Rail: March 2015
http://theshipsrail.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
Thursday, 12 March 2015. It's British. We licked it and now it's ours. My name is Sharon and I love the Britannia before I've even been on it. There, I outed myself. This is not the fashionable view. The fashionable whinge, er view, is as follows:. 1) It was made in Italy. 2) The company that owns P and O is American. 3) We hate cruise ships. 4) We hate big cruise ships even more. Don't like big ships? Go on the small ones. Don't like ships at all? Surely you have something better to do? Here's a page I ...

Coastal Scrapbooks: How to Catch A Rhino
http://coastalscrapbooks.blogspot.com/2013/08/how-to-catch-rhino.html
Wednesday, 14 August 2013. How to Catch A Rhino. Well, OK, extract a rhino! We have a herd of rhinos on display around Southampton and took lots of photos at the weekend. Here's the first page of my album with one I extracted:. The program kept trying to choose different coloured sections of the rhino and actually left out all the white bits, as I found out when I cut him out and those were still there on the page. So I did it the old fashioned way - the way I extract objects in PSP (8 and X4). To see mo...

Coastal Scrapbooks: Sometimes old colours just work
http://coastalscrapbooks.blogspot.com/2014/02/sometimes-old-colours-just-work.html
Wednesday, 19 February 2014. Sometimes old colours just work. I bought "Waiting For Spring", a collab kit from Little Butterfly Wings and Juliana Kneipp, at the weekend. I intended to use it for a layout about waiting for Spring complete with terribly clever macro shot of a clematis shoot but that will have to wait for another day. Let's face it the wet weather in the UK is a joke and folk might just laugh if I made a page about Spring. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Follow this blog with bloglovin.

Coastal Scrapbooks: A bold experiment ...
http://coastalscrapbooks.blogspot.com/2013/08/a-bold-experiment.html
Wednesday, 28 August 2013. A bold experiment . I've taken this blog off Amazon Kindle. You didn't know it had been on there? Great marketing then . Kindle readers are available on all kinds of devices and you can read books in colour, right? Not so with blogs, apparently. Blogs are only available on your main Kindle device and it has to be one of the old fashioned ones. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Some of Sharon's Digital Scrapbook Pages.

Coastal Scrapbooks: Say it here and it comes out there ...
http://coastalscrapbooks.blogspot.com/2014/04/say-it-here-and-it-comes-out-there.html
Monday, 21 April 2014. Say it here and it comes out there . Do you ever find yourself yelling at the TV for someone to do or say something (usually in my case it's "For goodness' sake, object! At a defence attorney), then they do it and you claim full credit? Cue husband (well, probably both) wondering how two women can talk for hours about cards, pockets, stamps and the like. Since Ruth is an independent demonstrator for Stampin Up! It makes great sense for both companies and it's great for us! I'm cove...

Coastal Scrapbooks: Keeping It Simple
http://coastalscrapbooks.blogspot.com/2015/03/keeping-it-simple.html
Friday, 13 March 2015. I'm not very good at simple. I tend to throw stuff at the page and end up putting bits in all four corners even when I'm trying to leave lots of "white space". This page is made with One Little Bird's Halcyon kit (part of The Lilypad's BYOC February 2015). I started off copying one of the CT layouts but drifted off piste. 2) Use only one photo and keep to one kit. Plain papers can be too traumatic so choose papers with a slight pattern. 13 March 2015 at 21:58. 18 March 2015 at 14:13.

Coastal Scrapbooks: It gets worse ....
http://coastalscrapbooks.blogspot.com/2014/02/it-gets-worse.html
Wednesday, 19 February 2014. It gets worse . My last post was about documenting the disappointment. Right up there in our fancy header it says "cruising" does it not? Well, here's a twofer - a page about the most disappointing cruise ever. I used mostly Scrapyrus' Anchor My Love. I can't even bear to write the story again. You can read about it on The Ship's Rail.

Coastal Scrapbooks: April 2014
http://coastalscrapbooks.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html
Saturday, 26 April 2014. Does My . Look Big In This? Although that could be because my head is missing since the template division slices right through it. Why do scrappers think this kind of thing is OK? People cut in half, limbs sliced off, Vincent Van Gogh impressions . my friends and I call it the Eeek Factor. I've even seen designers who think that spreading a photo across pockets in trendy manner is more important than not cutting members of your family in half. Please don't do it! At a defence att...
